Hostmonster Review : Reviewing Hostmonster

There are tons of Hostmonster Reviews out there, pretty much every single hostmonster review though is biased, this is why;

Hostmonster has an affiliate program for it’s web hosting service which awards affiliates a hefty commission for attracting clients, these clients can be web masters, designers, site owners, small businesses or whatever, well, they give the most biased reviews ever. All their reviews claim hostmonster is the way to go, that it’s the best solution, that hostmonster has the best online support and up time and so on, well guess what, it’s not true.

Hostmonsters web hosting program is not even affordable, well it is, but is it the best buy? Hell no, in fact it’s one of the more expensive hosting packages out there and to add insult to injury, or was it the other way round? i don’t know, point is, they don’t even have a decent online support team. Their live chat support is a joke, web hosting companies like Hostmonster NEED to up their game, you can’t be outsourcing your business to Hindu support people that can’t even type a full on sentence without mentioning curry or something. Ok that wasn’t relevant, but what i’m trying to say is watch out, companies like hostmonster do nothing but burn their clients after they’ve milked them out of their money.

Calmicity Wordpress Theme

I released a similar theme a long time ago I released a similar theme a long time ago and by that I mean years ago. Of course then it was not as well designed, nor compatible with browsers or coded to standards, it lacked everything a modern day theme is built on.

Calmicity, a name derived from the words ’simplicity’ and ‘calm’ is my latest WP theme that focuses on the web2.0 style as well as SEO aspect of today’s ever evolving web industry. It’s an adsense ready site which means that whether for personal use or as a business blog, it’s tuned and ready to make you money.

It’s widget ready and comes with everything you need to make a lasting impression with your blog readers.  I will be re-releasing a 3column version of this theme soon and also different color combination, so if you have any requests, voice them now or forever hold your peace. Hope you like it!

Design How To: Navigation

DnHowTo has recently been launched by a friend of mine. I was asked to cook up an original looking yet simple horizontal navigation and I did, just PSD. He chose not to code it and instead used image mapping to bring it to life, but who cares, I like how it came out, it’s on a simple dark wordpress theme and it looks pretty cool.  I simply gave it that squre burst feel here and there like in his BG and kept it simple.I wanted to adda rollover effect to each but he opted not to go with that.

Blog on spamming

I come on to find a trackback to a pretty interesting blog post on www.smartspammers.com whos blog design I also love BTW.

The blog post was about TrackBack Spam and they had left me a trackback spam as part of their trackback spam experiment as well on other blogs. I like the idea but think it would take a long time to add trackback links into a post unless there is some automated way? This would be pretty useful to many even not just for spamming but our blogroll of friends when we want to let them in on a new post or something?

DNPride.com for Breast Cancer

This has got to be the coolest thing i have ever seen anyone do. I now know who started this campaign, but he wishes to remain unnamed. What an amazing thing to do for cancer awareness. Spreading the word online is what we should all do, we should all chime in and spread the word of Breast Cancer Awareness!

It’s a very simple theme yet well designed and not too pinkish so guys, it’s ok to use it. I had to think about it but who cares about the color, it’s as a friend said, about the cause, about the meaning behind it. There can be no ugly design to it or color scheme, there can be no bad coding, it’s a pure very thoughtful act and that’s all there is to it.

Read a little more about it over at Design Pride. A site i know will be doing a lot of good and helping a lot of people in the future. It’s a breath of fresh air to see people who are passionate, not only for their work but issues that effect us in every day life.

Here’s a list of the top 7 free wordpress blog themes online in my opinion, download links and screenshots included. These are without a doubt some of my favorites and are download worthy, so download them! It takes a lot of hard work to create a simple wordpress theme, it’s a million times harder to create one of the below themes! Works of art, absolute beauty :)

A three column work of art. illacrimo is elegant, modern and well designed. Functional, simple but presents bloggers with a powerful professional impact for their blog readers.

Whalesalad is one of those wordpress themes that screams to be used. It’s a dark theme but colors don’t clash, I’ve had some hardcore light colored blog theme lovers swear by this one, which is praise enough i’m sure.
